PERMITS & VARIANCES

Information

A permit is a license to legally start construction of a project at a commercial or residential property. Permits ensure code compliance, also that your property is protected and that your value is maintained. It also provides communication for understanding the codes and laws of the community. Permits ensure that minimum standards are met and the proper materials are used.

When a permit or license application is denied or a property owner encounters a hardship that prevents them from complying with the Zoning Ordinances, a variance may be granted by the City’s Zoning Board of Appeals. Click here for a zoning appeal application.
